Import Tips

• Verify certificate of analysis confirming vinyl acetate content meets 95% comonomer threshold per subheading note (a)(2) to avoid reclassification

• Provide detailed monomer composition data in entry documentation; common pitfall is insufficient specs leading to 'predominant monomer' scrutiny

• Check for chemical modifications, which shift to 'Other' subheadings if not specifically covered
